DON'T CHOKE UNDER PRESSURE

Are you suffocating your talent?  Do you get so stressed that it makes you tighten up before big games?  Can't play loose or with a lot of confidence?

What's wrong?

If this is happening to you, just remember this: "keep it simple" - This game is simple, shooting and passing is simple, having this state of mind lets you play free and with balance.

When you're in a slump everything seems so complicated, but in reality it's really not.  Consistently remind yourself of just how simple this game really is and focus on the small things you can do to help your team win.  Things like boxing out, playing solid defense and diving on loose balls.  If you focus on the small things, the bigger things will come.
